Speaker 1 (00:04):
Straight to our breaking news this afternoon a helicopter crashing
off the coast of Victoria. Our reporter Bethan Yeomen is
following all the developments from our Melbourne newsroom.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Bethan, Good afternoon. What are you hearing, Tash?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It happened just after ten this morning. The helicopter crashing
into the water near Point Lonsdale around thirty minutes passed
a Gelong. All passengers on board managed to make it
to shore and were located by passers by who called
emergency services. From these Seven News helicopter, we can see
three people being cared for on the beach by firefighters
(00:36):
and police. Paramedics arriving a short time later, clearly concentrating
their care on one person in particular. Police say all
three suffered serious injuries. A man and a woman were
airlifted hospital, the other man by Rhodor Ambulance. The choper
itself was torn into pieces, It's rotor snapped in two,
(00:57):
now floating just off the coast. It's unclear where it
took off from or where it was heading. The Australian
Transport Safety Bureau will now investigate how this crash unfolded.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Tash very lucky escape there, Beth, and thanks so much
to news just in this afternoon. And a man accused
of staging his wife's death as a lawnmower accident has
been granted bail by Queensland Court this morning.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Robert Crawford was charged.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
With murder in October, allegedly manipulating the scene by sending
messages from the mother of three's phone to herself after
he killed her. The former Force pilot will be released
on strict conditions, including a curfew and daily reporting to police.
Accused mushroom killer Aaron Patterson has cried in court as
(01:43):
her estranged husband gave evidence for a second day in
a Victorian court. Astelle Greenpink is in Morelwell and joins
us now a still new private messages have been aired.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Good afternoon, Tash, Yes that's right. Yesterday in court, Simon
Patterson was talking about how the relationship between him and
his ex wife was initially quite friendly and that she'd
gotten along with her in laws quite well. But today
we've seen that there were some cracks in the relationship
forming around late twenty twenty two. That's because we've now seen,
along with the jury messages from the signal app and
(02:17):
there was a conversation between Simon Patterson and Aaron Patterson
about an upcoming birthday for Gail Patterson, which was Simon's mother.
It was her seventieth birthday, and the day before a
lunch for her birthday, Simon had messaged erin about childcare arrangements,
but also saying are you going to come to the birthday?
Aaron said that she had not been invited, she'd heard
(02:39):
nothing about it, and that she was quite upset by
this and she wouldn't be coming because she felt like
she'd been invited as an afterthought. Simon tried to reassure
her that his parents truly believed they had invited her
and that they were getting quite stressed out if she
wouldn't attend, So there was a bit of an argument
over text message, but eventually she agreed to come. Simon
(03:00):
Patterson has been questioned in the doc today about that conversation,
and he has admitted that tension was starting to form
in the relationship between him and his ex wife and
also between him and sorry between Aaron Patterson and her
in laws. Aaron Patterson is of course, charged with three
counts of murder and one kind of attempted murder, including
(03:20):
the murders of Don and Gail Patterson, her in laws.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
We also heard.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
That Aaron Patterson hated hospitals. This was in a part
where the defense were asking Simon Patterson about the time
that Aaron was admitted to hospital after the fatal lunch,
but she decided to leave before the doctors really wanted
her to and that's when he said, Aaron had never
really liked hospitals, and she actually had done this sort
of thing before, been at hospital and left before doctors
(03:46):
really wanted her to leave. Another thing that's happened this
morning is a short videos been played to the jury.
It had the voice of Gail Patterson in it. It
was filmed when one of the couple's children was playing
with a little car and his grandfather and at that
time Simon Patterson reached for tissues and I had to
look around in the dock, and Aaron Patterson was also
(04:08):
teary at that hearing the voice of Gail Patterson. The
evidence is still continuing in the courtroom behind me, so
I'm going to head back and I'll bring you more
developments throughout the day.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Tash, we appreciate it. This still thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
On election eve, the Prime Minister says he's taking nothing
for granted, despite Pole's pointing to a labor minority government,
mister Albanezi declaring the coalition isn't ready for government. Tim
Lester is traveling with the Prime Minister in the Queensland
electorate of Long.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Yes, mister Albernizi may be messing with his rival's head
on a visit here to an urgent care clinic. He
foreshadowed making a final visit to Dixon. That is the electorate,
of course of mister Dutton, and mister Dutton holds it
very narrowly, though most observers expect he will probably continue
to hold it. He's done so now for almost a
(05:01):
quarter of a century. So as defied polsters have said,
is electorate is narrow.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Are you trying to play mind games with Peter Dutton?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
No, we're trying to win a suit. We're very different people,
our values are very different.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
The Prime Minister here at an urgent care clinic, making
the point that he believes urgent care clinics would be
scrapped under the coalition. That's certainly not coalition policy, But
mister Albernizi suggesting that and also saying he believes that
the Liberal Party, if elected after the election, would quickly
have a debate on whether to pull out of the
(05:36):
Paris Climate Accord. Mister Alberzi ramping up his attack on
the opposition.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
My opponent is fearful of the present and petrified of
the future. The key to credibility is action on climate change.
They're slashing all the things that would make a difference
on emissions.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
The Prime Minister also saying here if if he faces
a hung parliament after tomorrow's vote, he will not do
any deals with crossbenchers. As to how that plays out,
we'll have to see. But for now, Anthony Albanezi is
projecting a note of moderate confidence that he can win
a majority after tomorrow's vote.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Tim thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Meantime, the Liberal leader claims the election is a referendum
on the cost of living and says he's hopeful of
defying the polls and pulling off a surprise upset.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Isabelle Mullen filed this report.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Well.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
Peter Dutton started the day early at the South Australian
Produce market in the safe Labor seat of Macon, held
on a margin of ten point eight percent, touring the
site and meeting with stallholders.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
And what's market at the moment.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's been pretty good last week.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
This week's a little bit.
Speaker 8 (06:53):
It's joined by Liberal Senator Anne Rustin. The dominant theme
this morning was the cost of living No.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
What's biggest change price has all Goner fertilized Garner preferals
Garner Labour's Gharner.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Liberal polsters Freshwater Now projecting a Labor win ahead fifty
one point five to forty eight point five percent on
the two party preferred split, more conservative than other pollsters
who have the government to head fifty three to forty
seven in the final poll before election day.
Speaker 9 (07:21):
And this election is a referendum on the performance of
the Albanesi government over the last three years, and it's
been a bad one. I want to make sure that
we can get our country back on track, that we
can manage our economy well, and only a liberal government
can do that.
Speaker 8 (07:33):
Peter Dutton has visited sixteen seats in the last few days.
He set that seven day target of twenty eight electorates,
so we can expect a lot of flying today. This
is the final full day of campaigning.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
All of this. I appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
Peter Dutton determined to get to as many states and
territories as possible before Australia decides who will be the
next Prime minister tomorrowsy.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Thank you and election Eve joining us this afternoon with
their predictions and analysis. A former Labor leader Bill Shorten
from Canberra and Indigenous leader and political strategist Warren Mundane.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Good afternoon to both of you. Thanks so much for
joining us. Thank you, mister Mundin. If I can start
with you.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
The Coalition released their costings yesterday, revealing that in addition
to cutting the public service, they'll also cut green energy projects,
foreign aid and support payments for students doing unpaid prack
now their budget deficit when you break down the figures
would actually be bigger than labors in the first two years.
In that earlier story, we actually heard mister Dutton say
(08:35):
the Coalition is better at managing the economy than labor.
You're known for being fiscally responsible. Surely those costings aren't.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Well, that's because within two years we're going to the
desert that will shrink. You've got you've got to have
a plan. You can't do it from day one you've
got to have a plan where you're actually working towards
getting that deficit down, shifting funds that need to be shifted,
and dealing with that big issues. You know you're looking
at You're looking at the government. You're going to go
(09:04):
into one point two trillion dollars.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You know, this is that's their plan, and.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
This plan is actually going to reduce it within three years.
And so that's that's that's the idea. In regard to
the renewables and everything like that. When you when you're
shifting and you're paying for bringing bringing on board a
target of the gas, which will help in regard to
reducing the price of power. When you start to bring
(09:32):
looking at how you stretch out the cold, how you
start how you look at the bringing on board the
emissions free nuclear power and that over a period of time.
This is these are the things that you've got to
start focusing on. These things will have long term goals.
You're looking at the pet you're looking at the petrol
and diesel price that will be immediate that will make
(09:52):
a big difference in regard to cost of food, cost
of transportation, and everything like that. Looks like look, I
think it's a great plan. It's moving in the right
direction and it'll get us to that reduction.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mister Shorten, can I ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The Prime Minister has come out again this morning adamant
that he will not be doing any type of deals
with the Greens to secure any victory. He has said
that time and time again. It will play out, especially
if there is a minority government or if he needs
that support to form government. Do you think the Prime
Minister is misleading the Australian public.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
On that, No, not at all, Natasha. The reality is that.
Speaker 11 (10:32):
There's going to be no deal with the Greens Albow
or The Prime Minister has made that very clear. No
one and Labour wants to deal with them. That's not
going to happen. I think though, you know, you asked
Warren and you gave a long exposition about why it was,
you know, a couple of efforts.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
It's bigger than labor in the next two years is
a good thing.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
These guys are trying to say that the only way
you can have a successful diet is by a eading
more big Max like the economics is ludicrous.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I think the Liberal.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Campaign, the fact that they know there's a technique in politics.
You put out your bad news at the very last minute,
so and I hope that people won't notice it.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
But I've never you know, these.
Speaker 11 (11:06):
Guys have taken out the trash of their economic numbers
and hope that people won't notice. Warren, if he was
in charge of this campaign, he would not have run
the campaign the way that mister Dutton's run it. You know,
I think this is the single biggest fiasco. They started
badly and it's gone from bad to worse.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Can I ask that to you, mister Mundine, what have
you run the campaign the same as mister Dutton.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
Look what the Dutton is doing is he's running I
reckon he's running a very good campaign. Look, he's admitted
where there's been mistakes made, and I've seen that that
cakes courage when you're working to admit those mistakes. Not
many politicians I'd backed ut and in regard to this campaign,
because at least he's not a liar.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
He's not.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Even when you have video of a person falling off
a stage and then they deny that they're doing that,
He's sitting there like talking like it's a wonderful You know,
we've got this incredible renewable policy.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We've seen what just happened.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
In Spain with the complete collapse of their of their
electricity system, and even fact they even had more deaths
because of that. Then happened at Fukushima, and you and
you and you start and just look at.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
The way there.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Their whole entire campaign has just been one lie after
a lie, and it is it is the thing about values.
You've seen, You've seen horrible things happening on polling boots
at the moment, and attacks and everything like that. One
of the reasons why I'm from my weight behind Dutton
(12:34):
because I really believe in Australian values and in Australian people.
I don't believe in dividing the country. I don't believe
in having antisemitic and and and people running around the
place and and Australians living in fear and can't afford
to pay their bills. We need to get that all
cleaned up and fixed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Mister Dutton.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If I'm sorry, mister shortly, if I can put it
to you, if the polls are right, and they can
be wrong, do you think there could be a Morrison
miracle happening for mister Dutton because mister Shorton, you were
in that position in twenty nineteen where all.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The hostage of questions you were going to win.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, first of all.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
I questioned us to the word miracle for a lot
of Australians. Morrison getting a second term wasn't a miracle.
It was a disaster. But let's go back to I
think the underlying point are the polls wrong? We'll find out. Okay,
we'll find out. You've got to always put that sort
of a caveat. But you know, I just you know,
I like Warren, but you know, just listen to that
(13:35):
rant about everything from Fukashima to Spain. You know, I
love Australia. Listen, mister Albaneze loves Australia as much as
mister Dutton. But the fact of the matter is that
mister Dutton wasn't ready for this election.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Do you know?
Speaker 11 (13:47):
On university today, at University of Camball, we've got a
great nursing school. People cannot believe students to stop me saying,
are they really going to get rid of our prack payments?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Like?
Speaker 11 (13:56):
Is the only way that mister Dutton can run Australia
by chucking up nuclear actors and making ordinary people suffer
income tax raises and paying more to go to UNI
like the Liberal vision.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
This election has been a referendum.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
It's been a referendum on do you want Donald Trump
policies in Australia or not?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Find out tomorrow night. I'm never so much rubbish. Look,
I love you, I love you Bill. You made of mind,
but that is.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I didn'trupt you on your vague and I didn't interrupt
you on your Crapy have to interrupt.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm so terribly sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I love watching you liberals lose your mind.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm going to have to interrupt here, your normally more.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Rational on your time, torow businesses falling.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Good night, Let's see what happens at the election tomorrow.
We appreciate your time throughout the campaign. Thanks so much.
There we go and we'll have comprehensive election coverage tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
You know, this is that's their plan, and.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
This plan is actually going to reduce it within three years.
And so that's that's that's the idea. In regard to

You're looking at the pet you're looking at the petrol
and diesel price that will be immediate that will make
(09:52):
a big difference in regard to cost of food, cost
of transportation, and everything like that. Looks like look, I
think it's a great plan. It's moving in the right
direction and it'll get us to that reduction.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mister Shorten, can I ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The Prime Minister has come out again this morning adamant
that he will not be doing any type of deals
with the Greens to secure any victory. He has said
that time and time again. It will play out, especially
if there is a minority government or if he needs
that support to form government. Do you think the Prime
Minister is misleading the Australian public.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
On that, No, not at all, Natasha. The reality is that.
Speaker 11 (10:32):
There's going to be no deal with the Greens Albow
or The Prime Minister has made that very clear. No
one and Labour wants to deal with them. That's not
going to happen. I think though, you know, you asked
Warren and you gave a long exposition about why it was,
you know, a couple of efforts.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
It's bigger than labor in the next two years is
a good thing.
Speaker 11 (10:49):
These guys are trying to say that the only way
you can have a successful diet is by a eading
more big Max like the economics is ludicrous.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I think the Liberal.
Speaker 11 (10:58):
Campaign, the fact that they know there's a technique in politics.
You put out your bad news at the very last minute,
so and I hope that people won't notice it.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
But I've never you know, these.
Speaker 11 (11:06):
Guys have taken out the trash of their economic numbers
and hope that people won't notice. Warren, if he was
in charge of this campaign, he would not have run
the campaign the way that mister Dutton's run it. You know,
I think this is the single biggest fiasco. They started
badly and it's gone from bad to worse.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Can I ask that to you, mister Mundine, what have
you run the campaign the same as mister Dutton.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
Look what the Dutton is doing is he's running I
reckon he's running a very good campaign. Look, he's admitted
where there's been mistakes made, and I've seen that that
cakes courage when you're working to admit those mistakes. Not
many politicians I'd backed ut and in regard to this campaign,
because at least he's not a liar.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
He's not.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
Even when you have video of a person falling off
a stage and then they deny that they're doing that,
He's sitting there like talking like it's a wonderful You know,
we've got this incredible renewable policy.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We've seen what just happened.
Speaker 10 (12:00):
In Spain with the complete collapse of their of their
electricity system, and even fact they even had more deaths
because of that. Then happened at Fukushima, and you and
you and you start and just look at.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
The way there.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
Their whole entire campaign has just been one lie after
a lie, and it is it is the thing about values.
You've seen, You've seen horrible things happening on polling boots
at the moment, and attacks and everything like that. One
of the reasons why I'm from my weight behind Dutton
(12:34):
because I really believe in Australian values and in Australian people.
I don't believe in dividing the country. I don't believe
in having antisemitic and and and people running around the
place and and Australians living in fear and can't afford
to pay their bills. We need to get that all
cleaned up and fixed.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Mister Dutton.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
If I'm sorry, mister shortly, if I can put it
to you, if the polls are right, and they can
be wrong, do you think there could be a Morrison
miracle happening for mister Dutton because mister Shorton, you were
in that position in twenty nineteen where all.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
The hostage of questions you were going to win.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, first of all.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
I questioned us to the word miracle for a lot
of Australians. Morrison getting a second term wasn't a miracle.
It was a disaster. But let's go back to I
think the underlying point are the polls wrong? We'll find out. Okay,
we'll find out. You've got to always put that sort
of a caveat. But you know, I just you know,
I like Warren, but you know, just listen to that
(13:35):
rant about everything from Fukashima to Spain. You know, I
love Australia. Listen, mister Albaneze loves Australia as much as
mister Dutton. But the fact of the matter is that
mister Dutton wasn't ready for this election.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Do you know?
Speaker 11 (13:47):
On university today, at University of Camball, we've got a
great nursing school. People cannot believe students to stop me saying,
are they really going to get rid of our prack payments?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Like?
Speaker 11 (13:56):
Is the only way that mister Dutton can run Australia
by chucking up nuclear actors and making ordinary people suffer
income tax raises and paying more to go to UNI
like the Liberal vision.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
This election has been a referendum.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
It's been a referendum on do you want Donald Trump
policies in Australia or not?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Find out tomorrow night. I'm never so much rubbish. Look,
I love you, I love you Bill. You made of mind,
but that is.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
I didn'trupt you on your vague and I didn't interrupt
you on your Crapy have to interrupt.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm so terribly sorry.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I love watching you liberals lose your mind.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm going to have to interrupt here, your normally more.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Rational on your time, torow businesses falling.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Good night, Let's see what happens at the election tomorrow.
We appreciate your time throughout the campaign. Thanks so much.
There we go and we'll have comprehensive election coverage tomorrow.
